"He has been relieved of law enforcement duties and has been assigned to an administrative position pending the outcome of the case," she said.

On Friday, Morse -- who was off duty but who was wearing his badge -- showed up to the nursing school his wife attends to discuss someone who she was possibly dating, according to an arrest report Channel 9 obtained Thursday.

The report said the couple lives together but is in the process of separating.

About 20 minutes into their conversation, Morse told his wife to not return home and grabbed her when she tried to leave, the report said.

"She somehow found her head on Jamahl's lap, facing the roof of her car with Jamahl's arm around her neck," the report said.
